After several days and countless lands, Benjamin eventually brought the servants back to the Academy.

Even if they were placed in another country, Grant might have the church assassinate them in order to prevent the secret from being leaked. And the academy already needs some handymen, so it's okay to have a few more of them.

- That's probably the only thing Benjamin can do for the Reeser family at the moment.

He couldn't have rushed to the church right away and singled out Grant to avenge Claude. In fact, if Claude had thought that even if it was to avenge him, he would not have been willing to watch his two sons kill each other.

However, Benjamin was already destined to be an enemy of Grant.

But beyond that, he did something else, and he did a little bit of his duty as a legacy member of the Reeser family.

"Using the existing intelligence bases, you try to find an old lady in her sixties and seventies in the territory of the Hori Kingdom or in every country. Benjamin instructed the men in the shadows, "I will make a portrait of you, and you will follow the portrait carefully, but be aware that this old lady has a rather strange temper." In case of a clue, don't touch her and just let me know. ”

When the person in charge heard this, he nodded, and asked again: "Is this old man a mage?"

"No," Benjamin said thoughtfully, frowning, "I don't know what she is. Anyway, don't worry about that much, let's go investigate first. ”

"Yes. ”

The person in charge bowed and withdrew.

Benjamin stayed in the room, touching his chin and giving him a thoughtful look.

Old lady

The only people alive in the Reeser family now are the old lady, except for their two brothers and the mother who was kicked out of the family. Truth be told, the timing of her disappearance was very delicate, just as Benjamin fled the royal capital. And Benjamin also believes that if the old lady was still in the family, perhaps the tragedy like this would not have happened.

Where the hell did she go?

What's more, recalling the old lady's past performance, Benjamin also felt that there were more secrets in her. Or is it really like the person in charge of the dark department suspects, will she be a mage?

Benjamin had an uncanny feeling.

If she is really a mage, hiding in the royal capital for so many years, it will be too amazing, right?

"Have you analyzed the old lady's mental power?" asked Benjamin in his heart.

"I hadn't paid much attention to it before, but the data was still there. The system replied lazily, "Her mental power is very ordinary, just like the condition of a normal old man." ”

"Okay. ”

After thinking about it, Benjamin could only put the issue aside for now. No matter how many suspicions there are in the old lady, the Rieser family has fallen, and it is time for him to take on the responsibility of finding the lost old man.

With these things done, he took a deep breath and walked out of the room.

Although he was not in the academy these days, the research on the rune meditation method continued. Benjamin didn't let the sudden change affect his mentality, and they had to continue this research and lay a good foundation in order to bring down the church in a real sense.

- Like the huge barrier that suddenly appeared in Havenlight, Benjamin felt that it was somewhat similar to the rune defense formation.

Who knows how many more of these methods the church has? Before the real showdown comes, they must prepare enough cards to defeat this profound behemoth.

He quickly made his way to the Rune Research Group's building.

"Hello Dean. ”

Walking into the laboratory, the mages inside all nodded at him. Benjamin glanced around, and most of them were continuing to meditate. He could feel that the elements in this room were very active, absorbed into their runes little by little by two dozen people.

The newly researched affinity formation was also carved in the room, making the elements here richer than outside. Several elemental crystals are placed on the ground in a regular manner, providing more elements to come out.

After a general observation, Benjamin suddenly turned his head and asked the mage next to him, "By the way, what about Master Randall, why didn't I see anyone else?"

"He went to the toilet and should be back soon. ”

Benjamin frowned.

Maybe he is a little careful, and when he goes to the toilet, he always thinks of hiding in the toilet and taking out his mobile phone to go online to secretly check the answer to the exam. Moreover, the meditation method using runes can be said to be a breakthrough and huge discovery in the mage world. This level of secret, there may not be people with ulterior motives.

Before, he monitored the whole process, and no one would leak secrets, but he had been gone for a while, and although there were others watching, it might not be foolproof.

After thinking about it, Benjamin turned around and walked in the direction of the toilet seemingly casually, and then turned on the water elemental perception method

After entering the range, a picture also appeared in his mind.

- An old man standing by the window with a black bird in his hand. He held a small roll of paper in his hand, tied it to the bird's feet, and let it fly out the window.

Suddenly, Benjamin's face sank.

It's really expected

"Your Excellency, where are you going to send this letter?"

In a very short time, the water elemental realm opened, and he quickly flew outside the building, first freezing the bird into an ice sculpture and holding it in his hand, then turning his head and floating out of the window, staring at the Randall mage with unkind eyes.

At that moment, the other party's expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

"Ben, Dean Benjamin, why are you back?"

Benjamin let out a sneer.

He came back relatively low-key, and most of the people in the academy didn't know. Therefore, this guy has relaxed his vigilance and is still catching up with this kind of leaking news.

"Master Randall, I'm disappointed in you. He stared into the other party's empty eyes and said slowly, "I remember you promised that you would never divulge the secrets of the runes. ”

"I'm not trying to leak it, what is written on the letter has nothing to do with that. If you don't believe me, take it out and take a look. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin let out a sneer and picked up the blackbird in his hand that had frozen into an ice sculpture.

"Okay, then let's see what Your Excellency has written. ”

Remove the slip of paper tied to the bird's leg and slowly unfold it. In the process, he even discovered that the blackbird was actually a pigeon, and he didn't know what it was dyed with to become this inconspicuous appearance.

These people have gone to great lengths to spread the news.

And the moment he unfolded the note, Mage Randall suddenly pulled out a bottle of potion and smashed it on the windowsill. Suddenly, green gas spread around the window. Benjamin was startled and summoned a layer of blisters to keep the poison gas out.

"Shameless guy"

Although his vision was blocked, he could see from the water element's sense that Mage Randall had turned around, cast his flying spell, and escaped towards another window without his life.
